After running a public instance of Wotrlay for a couple of days already (wss://wotr.relatr.xyz), we discovered a fascinating synergy between Wotrlay and Relatr 👀

They complement each other perfectly. As more people use or include this relay in their lists, their interactions on Nostr organically prompt Relatr to validate profiles that might not already be in its database. This process helps Relatr validate and rank these new profiles, increasing the number of relations in its view of the network. Consequently, the more people who use our Wotrlay instance (or their own), the fewer blind spots a Relatr instance will have, creating a perfect tandem of openness and organic discovery. This synergy was not something we anticipated when we first conceived Wotrlay, but it works beautifully 💛

If you'd like to help us test this further, please add wss://wotr.relatr.xyz to your relay list. Soon, we will provide more options and documentation to make deploying Wotrlay easier, so running your own instance should be fairly straightforward. Relatr is already deployable in one click in umbrel through nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr 's community store and also is available as docker image
